I had 2 miscarriages and was told that my blood clots easily, could that be the reason of my repeated abortion? Is progesterone injection necessary, each time during pregnancy? Will a low dose of aspirin help during pregnancy?
(Speciality: Doctor)
 
Progesterone and estrogen are pregnancy hormones. Role of progesterone during pregnancy is to maintain pregnancy functions like stimulate the growth of breast tissue, prevent uterine contractions, maintain the functions of the placenta and fight off unwanted cells near the womb that could cause damage to the placenta or fetus, etc. Sometimes progesterone is advised by the doctors during pregnancy as infertility treatment or for reducing the risk of miscarriage (abortion). Since you had already 2 abortions your doctor must have advised you progesterone. One of the causes of repeated abortions include antiphospholipid syndrome or thrombophillia (tendency to form blood clots, which can stuck up in placental blood vessels and cut the nutrient supply to baby). Aspirin acts as blood thinner, so some doctors prescribe aspirin in women who has repeated miscarriages with the idea that it “can’t hurt, and might help.” Low dose aspirin in pregnancy could be taken but only if advised by your treating doctor.
